Craig Foster v Ange Postecoglou

Craig Foster v Ange Postecoglou debatingreasons why australias youth teams haven't qualified under him. Is a hilarious heated debate.

[@DonkeyEnough]

This is a good example of the differences between an analyst and a coach: Analyst = looks at past results; Coach = recognises and nurtures future possibilities.

[@aidan3752]

Watching this again after the interview the other night. Oh how times have changed

[@seanj9213]

Ange changed them

[@jackyl2588]

nek minit, Ange takes Australia to the Asian Cup final

[@EpicPcCases]

28 Games unbeaten, a Premiership and a Championship and all that in one year. Kinda glad he moved on from teaching kids :)

Success is the sweetest revenge.

even more sweet now

[@timjones9962]

Can't stick that know nothing, done nothing foster Ange doesn't have to justify himself to a complete moron. Good luck at spurs.

[@jackthelab6755]

Great to see what Ange has achieved since this especially with Yokohama and the Australian side Craig your'e still dribbling away on the same couch 😂😂

[@mojorisen7812]

And now the Bhoys, this man will go down as a legend.

Feeling quietly confident that the big man's the real deal. Just been waiting for his opportunity to manage in europe and now he has it. The thunder from down under, oh yes!

[@alexrenn2479]

After this interview Ange's life was seriously negatively affected, both in a professional and personal sense. He was really concerned that it would define him and his career and he hit rock bottom. However, despite Foster's inappropriate treatment of Ange, he pulled himself up by his bootstrings, came back even stronger and like the true gentleman that he is, was willing and able to move forward and reconcile with Foster, no hard feelings. And this is what we love about Ange, who not only shows us that we can pick our lives up when faced with injustice and adversity, but that it is better to make amends with others instead of holding grudges and hatred. So not only a superb mananger but a brilliant human being and role model!

[@epec20]

Wow... Craig Foster. What an absolute plum !

[@barchels69]

Just coached a brilliant aus against chile so proud of him and the boys

[@barryballsit4944]

Not going so good now though, cant even beat Thailand without a useless ref denying the Thais what was a certain penalty

[@metminco]

Barry Ballsit They should’ve scored 10 goals in this match. You can’t blame the coach if your players can’t put the ball in an open net from point blank range.

[@Charyzk]

He is spurs coach now. Let that sink in.

[@guyrocks]

The u-20 world cup following the one Ange failed to qualify we had our Dutch technical director and we lost all 3 games.

[@joeoak8181]

Good on ya Ange! I don't like Spurs, but nevertheless hope you do well with them. You'll be more than welcome in the PL.

[@knoxieiscoolshorts]

Foster must feel like a Muppett

[@james6901]

Craig,take your pills mate.

[@arsenalgunnerz]

i have ange as coach this year at Port Melbourne.. he is an excellent coach. i used to play 4 oakleigh cannons in premier league.. and the pre-season fitness training i did there is nowhere near as good to even compare to the training im doing under ange. Even tho the team ange had wasnt performing.. its not ALL up to the coach. the players have to do their part of it too.. which they ddnt do. half the aussie youth are fkn shit & are only there cos their dad has a big wallet.

[@lionheart4552]

16 years later he's at Tottenham Hotspur football Club In the English Premier league year. Lets see how he does.

[@rohithraman6488]

Who's here when he is the new spurs manager

[@harryhimdini8861]

I think Ange came out slightly ahead here, but apparently during the mic check beforehand Foster was really impressive.

[@Evro2004]

This keeps getting better with age. Foster is such a fool

[@TheHearsz]

As much as I appreciate Craig's contribution to the game & his work on SBS, explaining & teaching young players in his analysis of football matches, the fact of the matter is after watching this interview, he is not an Aussie selector therefore has no right to ask or suggest a National team coach to step down, regardless of his knowledge of the game. Thats what sports codes have selectors for! I personally saw it as a personal attack & Ange should get an apology from Foz, if he has any class

[@markyboy683]

As a rangers fan! Ange seems to be a great guy an speaks well. There’s good and bad times for clubs an national teams. He’s managing a club that is my teams enemy lol but the bitterness isn’t there with me anymore. He is giving young boys a chance at Celtic and it’s only going to benefit our national side 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@glennmaillard5972]

I watched this interview live. Foster showed he had no understanding of youth development, and how it works and, worst of all, wasn’t interested. Former player and journalist and in practical sporting terms of low IQ. He substantially lost me. Ever since, I’ve analysed what Foster says more closely. Opened my eyes. But it was an interview that got me looking into Ange more. And I followed his progress after that. As a youth coach myself (netball and basketball) I immediately understood where Ange was coming from, and it wasn’t just the scoreboard, where ultimately Foster comes from. 👍

[@johntodd676]

Pull your head out of your arse Foster and apologise to Ange

[@DaveElliottGoogles]

Meanwhile Ange expected to be announced as new Socceroos coach tomorrow morning. Can't wait to see Forster's reaction

'Now, if they come to same conclusion as Craig Foster, the eminent expert in the studio...'

[@connectorpens]

Foster is someone who can talk the talk but can't walk the walk. An utter big mouth.

[@dickmorris84]

Fozzie is a hypocrite. He always bangs on about how results ARE NOT important at youth level, but HOW the team develops is more important. He can't have his cake and eat it too. Which way is it Foz?

[@RedHandLad]

Anytime I see Craig Foster on TV , I change channel ....he is a bore.

[@brunoghezzi4137]

foster is a suck-up for pep & no one else matters, except for lucy, who still continues to mangle both English and any other foreign sounding names.

[@freshcelery]

i think some people should understand that ange is doing well with brisbane right now primary because he finally got all his coaching licenses when he coached the youth teams he had very little qualifications outside of a b license hence why he generally failed every single time we need all our coaches studying and getting all their credentials before they coach professionally. thats everything from afc A and B license.

[@bobbushy3846]

Graig foster is the biggest overpaid so called analyst in the country. He still behaves like this today.

[@mark606800]

Egg on Foster's face.

He's not the worst football analyst of all time, I've seen far worse than Craig Foster. Thing is, Craig Foster knows his shit about Australian football, a lot more than most of us know.

@TheRVP11 Too be fair he does have some top level management experience, it was with the second season of Nerds FC. He lost all the games, with a special mention to the nail biter episode with an U11 team. He lost that game 6:0

[@godrumo]

And now he is the coach who holds the Australian record for most unbeaten streak in any code - cop that Foz

[@stefanmarjanovic4768]

Craig Foster is the Australian equivalent of Jamie Carragher as a pundit .. both hard to listen to.

[@sasho888prm]

As soon as Foster was named SBS Chief Analyst he thinks he is smarter than anyone in the world. Typical english attitude where a high position means that you are better than anyone else. Pity he couldn't prove it on the soccer field. And when the offer for Socceroo coach was even mentioned to him, he hid in the corner like a scared puppy.

[@thesmalltoad4177]

Ange has proven his worth since that ridiculous interview. Craig's role then was to agitate & now he is not relevant when it comes to soccer in this country.

[@tribey]

Ange was stiff, with his tenure coinciding with the black hole between the demise of the old NSL and the new A-League. Even now, the players produced by the A-League clubs don't seem to be of the overall quality of the likes of what was produced/groomed by the likes of Melbourne Croatia (Viduka, Simunic, Culina, Tiatto), Sydney Croatia (Bosnich, Zelic, Cahill, Kalac, Slater, Jedinak, Popovic) and Marconi (Schwarzer, Kewell, Okon, Farina, Vieri).

[@CharmanderTheAndy]

Lol, I was watching this on SBS when it happened

[@CrnicIndustries]

it's funny how so many people are saying that ange postecoglou is the worst coach ever, yet he is at the top of the a-league with the brisbane roar, a team that previously finished second last with frank farina in the prior season... hmm.... but meh, craig foster is entitled to his worthless opinion

[@joaquinbogadoolmedo9810]

Tottenham finest

[@jason2010s]

i like it what Les said at 5.00, we qualify by oceania when we got there we didnt do much..move to asia didnt do much, just like the national team in asian cup after the world cup,no disrespect to the soccerroo what they did was great and bring so much to the country,but we all know that FFA is not good enough we are far behind in the football world yet still we expect so much from so little we need to build for the next5-8 years when we might get the chance the game.then u can expect something

[@dbasto1]

I for one always believed Ange was the man, I think Craig can eat humble pie. Brisbane Roar are playing brilliantly and I got them @$41 to win the title. Ange for the next socceroos manager after Ossieck.

[@Serbozoid]

@lolz3626 hey i agree with that dude... i said it in my initial comment, "congratz to Ange on his success with Roar" it is something different to the game, at least the way it is played in Australia... Craig Foster can go over the line a lot of times but if he is right about one thing it is this "the mentality in australian football society has to change"... fitness is one, if not THE most important thing in this sport but anyone can work on becoming fit, WHAT ANYONE CANNOT HAVE IS TALENT!

[@PEG8827]

Craig Foster is a great commentator of our game both here in Australia and abroad. Whilst people may not agree with his comments he is non the less creating news/controversy about our game. We need more of it. It sickens me that we get pages and pages of mindless rubbish in our papers about RL and AFL when at the end of the day those journalists are simply writing anything to keep themselves in job. We need more Craig Fosters in our market for bringing these issues to light

[@darnsmall]

Yeah I never had a prob with Fozzie before, but that interview was a joke. Ange held himself well and spoke with clarity and calm, while Fozzie tried to attack him on what seemed more of a personal matter than anything. A very poor interview on his part...he should stick to reading a script

[@steveargy8142]

Where are you now Craig

this is easily now in my top 10 youtube clips. les murray's soothing voice a personal highlight.

Lost all credibility with me. Wont watch.

[@nate2611]

i think Ange Postecoglou wa being alot more professional

[@FaintestFusion]

its all well and good for foster to attack him like that due to the poor results, but the quality of players coming through (which isnt of European status comparatively) would also be a factor. postecoglou is ripping up the a-league right now with our roar boys, so obviously he's not that shit of a coach. from 2nd last to 1st in half a season.

i seriously don't understand football in australia... they say u need to make the A League and then the national team to get a spot in europe... the only exciting prospect of playing A league is getting o play on fox sports every week and looking good in front of the cameras. U won't get an A league contract unless u have played 26 premier league games and scored 28 goals, even then, u might be signed on a short term contract

DEFENDER5011 - "Fozzie is a better analyst then Ange Postecoglu is a coach." Too right, don't quite know why Fozzie was so unprofessional in attacking him but I think Craig Foster is a man dreaming of bigger things, taking out his frustration on the quality of the Australian system on a coach just doing his job. I applaud Postecoglou for defending himself but like fozzie said, they should have the technical ability to beat the likes of laos and china!

[@robertbaldie7]

Ange has had the last laugh, he's now coaching Brisbane, while Fozzy remains at TWG sitting on his arse talking shit.

[@freshcelery]

up until this season in the a-league, bleiberg, culina, merrick, mckinna, ferguson did not have all their credits funnily enough, the worst coach in the league david mitchell has all his licenses but was awful...but since the FFA got all the a-league coaches without the full critea to study and get their full badges, the a-league has improved

[@dbasto1]

@FatPizza56 Don't agree, Players like Tommy Oar, Kofi Danning and Matthew Leckie are very talented and the talent pool will get better. Do you think someone other than Ange would have done any better with that team... I think not.

[@Infernodarkness100]

Stop hating Fozzie. THis was like 6 yrs ago, things change ppl change. Ange changed 4 the better thats a good thing. Fozzie is just passionate abt football cause he'll be critical when Australia doesnt perform. Im a roar fan and i love the team and ange but back then ange wasnt as good as today. You cant judge someone from something that happened 6 yrs ago
